What Our Students Say

Priscilla
"They have been a great fit for us! The atmosphere here is awesome. The team here is very calm, compassionate, friendly and welcoming. They have taken the time to answer any and all questions I have had thus far. My son with autism is thriving here. The team and director and instructors have been phenomenal with my son and have even asked for things that he may or may not need but wanted to be inclusive and get what he and they need. It’s been great and we’ve just started!"
Anna Gabriella Rabello
"Exceptional Jiu Jitsu school with dedicated instructors. The facilities at Alliance are top-notch. The training area is spacious, clean and well-maintained, providing ample space for group and one-one classes. Whether you are a beginner/kids looking to start your BJJ journey or an experienced practitioner seeking to refine your skills, this school provides a supportive and inspiring environment."
Robert Snow
"My 6-year-old son, Casey, has been taking Jiu-Jitsu classes at this academy, and he absolutely loves it. Casey has always had a hard time paying attention and focusing, and he is also quite shy. However, Professor Juan Guerrero works exceptionally well with him. Professor Guerrero's patience and engaging teaching style have helped Casey channel his energy positively. We've noticed remarkable improvements in his attention, focus, confidence, and overall behavior. All the other staff at the academy are also very good at what they do, and friendly, and the facility is always clean. The classes are also affordable, making it an excellent choice for us. Casey looks forward to every session, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Edit: Recently, Casey had the opportunity to train during the 11 am schedule with another professor, Guilherme Augusto. Professor Augusto, despite actively competing in championships, humbly dedicates his time to teaching kids in Northwest Arkansas. He is amazing with Casey, and his expertise and approachability make a significant difference. We're incredibly grateful for the positive influence both professors have had on Casey."
Michael Barker
"We were looking for a place for my boys to train while we were in Centerton for the week. We looked into Alliance after seeing one of their students perform well at a recent tournament. I called and they said to come on in. Maritza was super nice over the phone and even nicer in person. The staff was great and the kids were friendly. We will definitely be making this our gym whenever we are up this way."
